public interface CloseablePolicyProvider<PE extends TopLevelPolicyElementEvaluator>
extends PolicyProvider<PE>, Closeable

PolicyProvider that implements Closeable because it may use resources external to the JVM such as a cache, a disk, a connection to a remote server, etc. for retrieving the policies. Therefore, these resources must be release by calling Closeable.close() when it is no longer needed.

PDP extensions of this type (to support new ways of providing policies by reference) must implement the CloseablePolicyProvider.Factory class
